Import Tips

Obtain visual inspection certificates confirming RSS 1 cleanliness standards; even minor discoloration can downgrade classification

Declare exact sheet thickness and smoking process details; ensure no surface-working beyond simple cutting to rectangular shapes

Check for proper PE wrapping to prevent contamination during shipping, as exposed sheets risk reclassification as scrap
